Our Take On The Shadow Force Trailer
Looks Like Fun For The Whole Family
Seemingly blending thrilling action with comedy and family dynamics,Shadow Forcelooks like a solid take on the spy genre. With Washington and Sy leading the charge against a villainous Strong, it feels familiar and fresh, as a diverse cast of heroes takes on what looks like a formulaic, in a pleasing way, antagonistic force. Only so much can be speculated with only one trailer out so far, but whatever footage that’s available forShadow Forcedoes tease an entertaining spy thriller.
